I am aware of the Father's Day conflict with the Get Together. Sue and I are trying to figure out what to do. When we made the plans we didn't think about Father's Day. If we change the day then it will have to occur during the week as I have to go back home the following weekend. My wife thinks its a great Father's Day present to kick me and the kids out of the house for a whole week. She doesn't understand the dilemma [big grin]. ...tim west...

When you get right down to it, there NEVER will be a date that will work for all interested people. That being said, I think it's up to the potential attendees to place their own priorities. Not everyone has someone with whom to celebrate Fathers' Day. Not everyone is locked into a rigid way to celebrate it. I made a deal with my kids, many years ago, that said - you are so good about paying attention to me all year long. On Mothers' Day, I'd like to celebrate it by doing what I would like to do, and that doesn't mean standing in line at a restaurant so that you can pay overblown prices for a so-so meal served by a harried staff. You get the picture. It's called thinking outside the box. Especially if this is seen as an annual event, this date might work for one bunch this year and a different date could be set for next year, which might bring in a different but overlapping group of attendees. Or a date could be set by a polling of those who want to attend, then that date would be locked in for future years so that everyone could plan on it, year to year. Make sense? I'm just glad that there are plans afoot for a gathering! Good job, Tim.
